26 MOUNT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 MOUNT CLOSE sales from February 1999 and September 2005 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the February 1999 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 26 MOUNT CLOSE be worth now?

26 MOUNT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £485,084.

This is based on house price inflation of 96.8%, between September 2005 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 96.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 MOUNT CLOSE of £246,500 on 1st September 2005. For the value to have increased from £246,500 to £485,084 over the twenty years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 MOUNT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £246,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
